This is the best functioning remote I have ever had. This remote replaced every single remote from my coffee table. Works with very bit of kit I have, this includes DVD jukeboxes, Xbox360, multiple CD jukeboxes and old PVR's.
Best part was when my wife just picked it up and used it first time. She has always hated the 8-9 remotes that she had to use to watch TV or DVD. All she has to do is press one button called Watch TV. The remote then turns on the TV, then the Amp turns on and selects the correct source, digital TV box turns on, then the buttons on the remote work for the TV....it's great. If you then selected Listen to CD the remote would turn off the TV, leave the Amp on but select CD source, turn on CD player and select play. Also the Off button turns everything the remotes turned on, off.
The remotes buttons can be assigned to do what you want, and for those functions you use once in a blue moon you can find them by simply navigating to them via the blue screen. All functions in the blue screen can be edited to say what you want.
On the downside the buttons seem cheap and plastic but it's only £50. Some less patience users will not like the fact they have to take 10mins to setup there new remote (but it's worth it).
You also get a spare set of batteries in the pack as the remotes can work in demo mode.

This remote looks great and once correctly programmed, does what it says on the box.
An online wizard creates activities such as 'Watch TV', 'Watch DVD' etc and these are available from the soft keys by the remote's display. I have a TV with external set top box and amplifier. The 'Watch TV' task turns on all these components, set's the TV to the correct AV channel, and then the volume control will be mapped to the amp (selectable via the wizard).
The down side of this remote is with the setup software's interface. The remote connects to a PC via USB and an internet conenction is required. The setup is performed via a web portal. This is EXTREMELY tedious and slow waiting for pages to update, and some people may struggle with the advanced setup. After testing the remote's functionality, it may be necessary to tweak the settings which means using the setup program from hell again!
However, after persevering, the remote works like a dream. Any missing functions can be learned via the remote's infrared port (unfortunately this means connecting to web interface again!). Some of my original remotes required aiming at the appliance with hitman accuracy, but with this has wide coverage.
The button quality is not great - a bit rubbery, but for just over [...], this is still excellent value. So far I have not had to dig up my original remotes to use any mising functions.
I have given this 4 stars - I have deducted one star for the setup program. Hopefully Logitech will one day scrap this in favour of one that installs locally.
*** Update 22 Feb 2007 - the Setup Software's web interface has recently been updated and is not as cumbersome as before. Not perfect, but much better. ***

This is a fantastic remote. It can be heavily customised with macros ie. performing a sequence of button pushes using just one push. It can learn any function that is missing from the database using your old remote and the lcd screen can be made to say whatever you like for its labels of functions. The buttons are a little 'spongey' although the key volume, channel and joystick controls, as well as the buttons driven by the lcd are solid plastic and feel much better.
